CA2572149A1 — Process for production of azulene derivatives and intermediates for the synthesis of the same

USPTO Abstract

A process for producing azulene derivatives useful as Na+-glucose cotransporter inhibitor easily and simply in high yield at a low cost which is industrially advantageous and excellent in environmental protection, characterized by subjecting at least one compound selected from among specific penta- and tetraacyl precursors of the azulene derivatives and salts of the precursors to reduction and deblocking to obtain a C-glycoside compound; and useful intermediates obtained in the above process.
